Episode Details

President Trumps executive order on federal elections, Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity, aims to check citizenship before mail-in ballots are sent. However, it faces criticism for potentially overstepping state election rules. Alaska, with its reliance on mail and absentee voting, is particularly concerned about the impact on remote communities, naturalized citizens, and rural voters. The risk of errors in federal databases could disenfranchise eligible voters, including elders, deployed troops, and out-of-state students. State leaders in Alaska are urged to push back against this federal list that could undermine local laws that have served well for decades.
